So I might end up taking this down shortly, but... why not?

This summer me and my (Russ Manning Award-nominated) collaborator Lukas Ketner released another story for our horror/medical drama comic Witch Doctor. Lukas drew it in a different art style than the first one we did... and, for various reasons (involving editors at potential publishers), he decided to redraw it.

We're not entirely sure what we're going to do with the redrawn story. It may get colored and put in an anthology. But until we figure out what's going on with it, I figured there wouldn't be any harm in sharing it with you folks. You all were some of our earliest, strongest supporters (and Warren himself has been very, very nice to us, putting up with me plugging the comic on a nigh-weekly basis on here and even plugging us in a recent DO ANYTHING), and I wanted to share this with you.

If you insist on owning a hard copy (I know, twist my arm, right?), some will be available for online mail order after we get them printed for APE.

Edit: Yep, I took it down.]]>

Heh. I know it's supposed to be a horror comic, but it's totally adorable. :)

Worth it just for the concept of "the Golem equivalent of antibiotic-resistant staph infection". Fantastic work!

Jess — We want the comic to be a multi-genre thing, so this one was an action/comedy. We'll be going the distance to try to scare you in other installments.

John_Bivens — Thanks buddy!

curb — Good to hear! Hopefully we'll have pleasant announcements to make about that before the end of the year.

Purple Wyrm — That was one of the most fun things about writing this story for me — it's basically a fight scene, and then at the end you find out the fight scene was just a metaphor for an important principle in medicine. But it's a fight scene!]]>

I have no problems with a horror comic that alternates between adorable and terrifying. Bring it on! :)

Brilliant, that! Definately prefer the redrawn version - looks a lot closer to the original, bringing back all the detail and sharpness.

@Luke — I'm hoping we'll have news about publishers and suchlike soon. I can't give details, but I can say we've gotten attention (a lot of attention. A ridiculous amount of attention) from publishers (publishers, plural), and things seem to be moving along on that end.

@Stuart Aruna — did you read the first story, on our website? That one's got even *more* ideas/page!

@Val — I really liked the art style Lukas used on the first version, but people seemed to have a stronger reaction to the stark B&W art of First Incision. I think we'll be mixing it up a bit when we get to do more stories. (I've got an artist who can draw, very well, in multiple styles. Why on earth would I not take advantage of that?)

And that you Warren, for making this thread a Sticky and for mentioning us on your site!]]>
